Rollix-Defontaine

Since 1946 the history of Defontaine is very closely tied to a land where the values of loyalty, perseverance and courage are combined with taking pride in a job well done. The group’s growth is based on its mastery of flash butt welding and induction heat treatment technologies, which enable the group to achieve exceptional technical and metallurgical results at very low production costs. The group first developed in the automotive sector, then, from 1967 onwards, in aeronautics and finally in the slewing ring sector.

Defontaine Group serves customers around the world, at the crossroads between our brands and technologies, and offers its customers high-technology mechanical parts and sub-assemblies designed and manufactured using the most advanced quality management methods.

Defontaine employees represent the foundation, strength and the future of the group. With their deep-rooted know-how, they continuously learn and innovate through daily contact with their customers.

Defontaine Group believes in transfer of knowledge and offers opportunities to the greatest possible number of people. The company is committed to promoting its activities. Defontaine provides training programs with Pôle Emploi (French Employment Centre) for vocational retraining. During these courses, old industrial trades such as machining and blacksmithing are developed to serve modern industry.

Safety and well-being at work are our priorities. Local medical services, a lively company restaurant, a social worker and an active Committee for Employee Representation are available to meet the needs of our employees in their daily activities.
